Always a good idea to review and adjust meds in case goals achieved. However, your best reference remains your prescriber that can provide specific recommendations with all details accounted for.

Hi doctors. I blood pressure medications, Losartan 100 mg & Metoprolol ER 100 mg. At the nephrologist my blood pressure was 120/70. At the cardiologist a week later it was 145/80. I often get variable numbers. Is this variability in readings normal?
